Waiting for the wind, waiting for the rain, waiting for your return

In the past few days, Tianshitang and the disciples of various immortal sects have gone to all the places where the crime happened again, searched carefully, and almost turned the bottom of the sky, but still found nothing, and the news that came back was not of much value.

Xiao Zhongyuan buried his head on the desk, deducing something, Jun Fu leaned on the screen, poked his head out: "Ah Yuan, why are you still awake? You are like a night owl every day."

Xiao Zhongyuan extinguished a lamp with a wave of his hand and said, "It's because the lamp is too bright that it woke you up?"

Jun Fu snatched the notebook from Zhong Yuan's hand: "What are you doing?" Seeing that there were lines connecting the places where the crimes took place, he frowned and said, "Are you a talisman?"

"Don't make trouble, give it back to me." Xiao Zhongyuan snatched the notebook back from Jun's handhold, and smiled in a low voice with sideways eyes: "It's still what you said, it's just drawing symbols. Do you see what this pattern looks like?"

Xiao Zhongyuan took a pen, spread out a map of Shengjing on the table, ticked a few strokes, and said in a deep voice: "Seven people from Guangmao Winery in the south of the city, 13 people from Jucai Gambling House in the east of the city, and 11 people from Yizhuang in the west of the city, as Bai Changqing said yesterday The last Bashan Ming Tomb is located in the center, and I ticked another one here in the north of the city."

Jun Fu took a closer look and said, "It's a bit like the image of a river map, but the directions of the five elements don't quite match up."

Xiao Zhongyuan's brows gathered a bit of seriousness: "It's the 'Blood Soul Formation' of the monster race, also from the 'Hetu Luoshu'. It is said that the Hetu Luoshu was born from the heavenly destiny astrolabe. It has been handed down over the years and has countless branches. I have seen records in ancient books about the summoning curse of the monster race, and it is this pattern."

Jun Fu suddenly realized and said: "I remember, the number of the river map, the sky produces water, the earth [-]%; the earth produces fire, the sky [-]%; the sky [-] produces wood, the earth [-]%; the earth [-] produces gold, the sky [-]% "Five out of the heavens are born into the earth, and ten out of ten out of the earth. This number is absolutely right!"

Xiao Zhongyuan nodded: "Going along the sky is left-handed, and the five elements in the center are reversed in this pattern, which follows life and reverses death. I suspect that Bai Changting is performing a sacrificial ceremony, using blood as a matchmaker, using spirit as a contract, and using 'blood' Soul Formation' summons an ancient monster from another world for his use. Do you still remember that Bai Changqing mentioned that the legend about the soul of the dragon in Bashan is true?"

Jun Fu thought for a while and said: "Well, I have read the secret history of the royal family. The first emperor moved his capital from Xunzhou to Shengjing. One reason is that Xunzhou is too close to the Luanchuan Demon Realm. The souls of the dragon lineage are guarded, and evil spirits cannot invade. Therefore, starting from the first emperor, emperors of all dynasties have built imperial tombs in Bashan and dug underground palaces, so that they can escape into Bashan when there is a war between monsters and monsters. But this has always been a legend , After so many years, no one has seen any earth dragon souls. According to the records in the Kunlun Ruins, the dragon clan has long lived in Sihaizhou, guarding the ancient prehistoric monsters for the heavenly court."

Xiao Zhongyuan tapped the hooked place in the north of the city with his fingers and said: Since it is a legend, there must be some inaccuracies in the word of mouth.But no matter whether the soul of the earth dragon is from the lineage of the dragon clan or not, the power of the ancient beasts is not something that our cultivators can easily resist.Otherwise, the fox master would not have to go to such lengths to come in person, and set up so many counters to confuse our investigation direction.It is estimated that the fox master will start here soon. "

Jun Fu immediately bowed his head and bowed, with admiration on his face: "Master is indeed very knowledgeable and knowledgeable, admirable." Pointing to the light point of Xiao Zhongyuan's finger, he said: "I know this is a fireworks workshop."

Just as he was speaking, a cloud piercing arrow suddenly exploded in the night sky, the fireworks tube at the end burst, and after a crisp sound, a long tail of beautiful red light was dragged out.And the direction is near the fireworks workshop in the north of the city.

Another monk has an accident!

Since the plan was agreed upon at the Rongguo Mansion that day, apart from strengthening defenses in the Bashan area, all monks in Shengjing carried cloud-piercing arrows with them, and if they were attacked by monsters, they would send out a signal to call the police.

The two quickly jumped out of the window, and within a short time, Yu Jian had arrived at the fireworks workshop, but it was still a step late. Oil lamps were lit everywhere in the workshop, and there were no more than no less than 7 corpses lying here and there. It has been dug out.There was also a corpse that had died not long ago, with blood flowing all over the ground, it looked like it was a disciple of the Fuyu Mountain Immortal Sect, and he must have fired the cloud-piercing arrow just now.

Xiao Zhongyuan and Jun Fu ignited the palm flame, walked through several rooms where various materials were piled up, and came to the backyard.Standing under a huge white elm tree was a slender figure, dressed in gray and red.The man turned around, with a pair of peach-blossom eyes flashing, and his eyebrows curved, it was Bai Changting.Bai Changting didn't seem surprised to see the two of them, and smiled at Yan Yan: "Young Master Xiao, little prince, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."

Jun Fu quietly winked at Xiao Zhongyuan, and took a few steps towards Bai Changting: "I didn't expect it to be Young Master Changting. Xiao Wang has found a good guqin in the past few days. I wanted to invite Young Master to come over to appreciate it. Unexpectedly, Shaojun left Drunken Flower Shade in a hurry. Now such a secluded place appeared in the middle of the night, it surprised Xiao Wang."

But Bai Changting took a few steps back, winking like silk: "That's really a pity, Xiao Ke was invited by a friend and had to leave Shengjing temporarily. The prince's kindness, Xiao Keding will always remember it in his heart."

Jun Fu's eyes turned cold, and his tone was cold: "Even if you leave Shengjing for a while, why do you appear here? Are you looking at the moon?"

Bai Changting said with a smile: "My lord is right, I really couldn't sleep and came out for a stroll, just as I liked, and found so many corpses here, could it be that there was another murder by a monster? Ah, it's terrible."

I believe you bastard, full of nonsense!Jun Fu said coldly: "Seeing you like this, how can I be afraid? Ordinary people would be scared to death when they saw such a bloody scene. Do you still have time to enjoy the moon in the backyard?"

Bai Changting still had crooked eyes with a smile on his face: "I'm taking life and death lightly. Besides, these monsters are all coming for you cultivators. I'm just a musician with no power to restrain a chicken, so I can't get in touch with these monsters." eyes."

The two asked and answered each other, like old friends reminiscing about the past.

While Jun Fu was talking to Bai Changting, Xiao Zhongyuan had slowly walked around to Bai Changting's side, his eyebrows raised slightly: "Master Changting is too humble, is it because he has no strength to restrain a chicken, you will know after trying." Like lightning, a spirit barrier struck towards Bai Changting.

As expected, Bai Changting drifted back three feet, and the person had turned into a puff of green smoke and escaped into the air, and his laughter could be heard from a distance: "Oh, I was discovered, then we will meet tomorrow at the Ming Tomb of Bashan. Don't wait for the time."

Jun Fu sighed: "It really is the fox master, and his body skills are so fast."

Xiao Zhongyuan approached the place where Bai Changting was standing just now, and saw that the soil on the ground had obviously been turned over, and there was still blood on it, and he frowned slightly: It's demon blood!Exerting spiritual power to visualize the traces of blood, it really is the image of a retrograde river map.The two looked at each other, the formation of blood souls!

Jun Fu dug up the soil with his sword, and saw a black ancient locust tree box under a foot. When he opened the box, there was a pungent bloody smell. It is still alive and beating, the scene is extremely weird.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from behind, it was the other celestial masters and disciples of the immortal sect who had seen Piercing Cloud Arrow rushing over.Seeing the wooden box in Xiao Zhongyuan's hand, Xiao Renwang eagerly asked: "Do you know who did it?"

Although there was an unpleasant quarrel about Bai Changqing before, both sides have the same purpose at this time.Xiao Zhongyuan closed the wooden box, pulled out the demon blood congealed in the soil, twirled his fingertips slightly, formed three magic balls, and then sent the three magic balls of spiritual power to several people, saying: "It's Bai Changting. The magic balls There is his demon blood in it. If you go to Guangmao Winery, Jucai Gambling House and Chengxi Yizhuang to search for his breath with this magic ball, you should find three more black wooden boxes like this. Return quickly when you find them. Heavenly Master Hall."

It was already past time when everyone returned to Tianshitang, the hall was brightly lit, and no one felt sleepy.Xiao Renwang, Zhou Chong, Lu Qianyi, and Gao Zhitang were all present, and they went to invite Fan Wenqiu's disciples back and said that Sect Master Fan led his disciples out of the house early this morning, and the shopkeeper of the inn didn't know where he was going.

Lu Qianyi's face was gloomy and displeased: "I don't know about the fact that the monster in Shengjing murdered the disciples of the Xianmen. It's too unkind for Fan Wenqiu to leave without saying goodbye just by rubbing oil on the soles of his feet."

But Zuo Xiang Zhao Fu didn't know whether he was angry or sad because of Zhao Xingzhi's incident, in short he was ill, so he ignored it.

The immortal disciples and celestial masters who went to the three places came back one after another, and indeed there were manifestations of demon blood in the three places, and such black wooden boxes were found after digging a foot in the place where the manifestations were.As he spoke, three black wooden boxes with the same shape were presented.The box is made of ancient locust wood from Guishan. It is said that this black locust wood itself has the function of linking dead souls.

The person holding the black box opened the wooden box, and the previously missing part of the heart was indeed inside, seven, nine, eleven, thirteen.

No matter how stupid people are, they can see that there must be something strange in it.Si Huaijin looked at Xiao Zhongyuan and said, "Xiao Xianjun, do these numbers have any special meaning?"

Xiao Zhongyuan threw the dharma ball condensed with Bai Changting's blood into the air, and soon he saw a wisp of blood steaming from the pile of beating hearts in the four wooden boxes, and merged together in one place. "This is Bai Changting's demon blood. He is summoning the soul of the dragon in Bashan through the secret art of the demon tribe 'Blood Soul Formation'."

Most of these celestial masters and immortal disciples were born in the era when people were respected. They have not experienced the war between monsters and humans more than a hundred years ago, and they know very little about the monster race. Array of Souls".

Xiao Zhongyuan briefly explained the formation and usage of the "Blood Soul Formation".When everyone heard the words, it was as if a pot had exploded. The legend of the dragon soul in Bashan was actually true. If it was used by him, it would definitely set off a bloody storm in the Three Realms.

Gao Zhitang said anxiously: "We will report this matter to the Holy Majesty in the morning, the fox demon actually intends to destroy the imperial mausoleum, it is an unforgivable crime."

The Ming Mausoleum is located in a treasure land of mountains and rivers in Bashan, the outskirts of the Shengjing Imperial City. Jun Wuji began to build his own imperial mausoleum at the beginning of his ascension to the throne. He felt that his literary and martial arts skills could shine brightly, so he named his imperial mausoleum the Ming Mausoleum.

Si Huaijin frowned deeply: "Since we already know that the last formation is in the Ming Tomb of Bashan, we must set up a net around the Ming Tomb to stop the fox master's plot at all costs!"

"Do you know when the fox master will make a move?"

"Tomorrow's time."
